The first members of the band were: Admir Ahmetović (drums), Damir Terzić (guitars), Nedim Sinanović (bass) and Dino Šaran (vocals), both of the latter songwriters. Letu Štuke intrigued music critics back then with their vigouros work and numerous concerts on (what was then known as) Sarajevo demo scene. Sadly though, because of the various changes and because the members had to serve in the army, and after that the war in Bosnia during the 1990's - the group falls apart and everything stays still just on their demo recordings.
Members of the band move to various corners of the world, while Dino Šaran after a short stay in Zagreb goes back to Sarajevo. While writing songs for various Croatian musicians (such as Severina and many others) he starts thinking about starting the band again. With his strong will and with big help from the arranger-producer-precusionist Đani Pervan (who in the meantime moved to Paris, and became one of the Darko Rundek & Cargo Orkestar members) in February of 2005. Letu Štuke goes into studio and finally, after 17 years of waiting, their first album is being recorded.
Now famous Croatian label Menart recognizes great potential in Letu Štuke and presses the realese of the album annoucing it as "one of the most interesting rock albums to come out this year".
In early 2008. they release their second album Proteini i ugljikohidrati.
The band members now are: Dino Šaran (vocals) and Đani Pervan (drums and precusions) as the main duo, Dejan Ostojić (bass), Dino Vatrenjak (guitars) and Slobodan Ćosić (keyboards).
Gorile u magli
Letu Štuke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
bila je prava blagodet.
Pješačili smo već stotinama milja
kroz ovaj napušteni svijet.
Pitao sam: "Je li sve uredu?
Jesu li ove gorile OK?"
Onaj što je najveći ima dlaku sijedu,
muklo se iskezi, izvadi sprej.
Hej, hej
mojne u oči sprej
mojne u oči!
"Vratimo se odakle smo došli",
rekla si i nastavila put.
Nestala si u sjenama krošnji,
ni ja nisam bio lud.
Otiš'o sam kući na kupovni puter,
u glavi mi se vrtilo.
Nisam više mog'o gledat u kompjuter
pa sam se u šumu vratio.
Čekala je ispred čopora gorila,
izgledala je prekrasno.
Kako izgledat' super sa stotinu kila?
Gorile ne jedu premasno.
Hej, hej
mojne u oči sprej
mojne u oči!
"Vratimo se odakle smo došli",
rekla si i nastavila put.
Nestala si u sjenama krošnji,
ni ja nisam bio lud.
Vratimo se odakle smo došli
čisti ozon disat ćemo svi.
Neće više postojati gosti
svi smo domaći.
Nikad majka zemlja manja nije bila,
al' ničija nije do zore gorila.
MMF,MMF, ti si bog
ma ti si šef.
MMF,MMF ti sve znaš
ti si šef.
The song "Gorile u magli" by Letu Stuke tells a story about the singer's encounter with gorillas while wandering through an abandoned world. In the first verse, the singer talks about filming a group of gorillas and how they were a true blessing. They have traveled for miles, but the singer is concerned about the well-being of the gorillas, so he asks if everything is okay. The largest gorilla with gray hair snarls and takes out the spray, causing the singer to shout, "hey, hey, don't spray in my eyes."
In the second verse, the singer talks about his return home from the woods, where he was unable to continue looking at the computer. Later, he returns to the forest, and the same group of gorillas is waiting for him. In the last verse, the singer tells the listener to go back where they came from to breathe clean ozone, and everyone will be a native. The singer then refers to the earth as the motherland and says it has never been smaller, but no one's world burned until dawn.
The song seems to have a message about returning to nature, protecting the environment, and connecting with it. The gorillas are a symbol of nature, and the singer's interaction with gorillas, as benign and peaceful, emphasizes the importance of nature in our lives. The song also speaks about the return to nature, which is seen as something pure and freeing, and questions a technological lifestyle, which is too blindly adopted altogether.

Jesu li ove gorile OK?"
Are these gorillas okay?"
Onaj što je najveći ima dlaku sijedu,
The largest one has grey fur,
muklo se iskezi, izvadi sprej.

rekla si i nastavila put.
You said and continued on your way.
Nestala si u sjenama krošnji,
You disappeared into the shadows of the trees,
ni ja nisam bio lud.
And I wasn't crazy.
Otiš'o sam kući na kupovni puter,
I went home to buy some groceries,
u glavi mi se vrtilo.
My thoughts were spinning around in my head.
Nisam više mog'o gledat u kompjuter
I couldn't look at my computer anymore
pa sam se u šumu vratio.
So, I returned to the woods.
Čekala je ispred čopora gorila,
She was waiting in front of the group of gorillas,
izgledala je prekrasno.
She looked beautiful.
Kako izgledat' super sa stotinu kila?
How to look cool with a hundred kilos?
Gorile ne jedu premasno.
Gorillas don't eat too much.
Vratimo se odakle smo došli
Let's go back where we came from
čisti ozon disat ćemo svi.
We'll breathe clean ozone together.
Neće više postojati gosti
There won't be any more visitors
svi smo domaći.
We're all locals.
Nikad majka zemlja manja nije bila,
The mother earth has never been smaller,
al' ničija nije do zore gorila.
But nobody burned until sunrise.

Ajde da probam. Juče sam video vrlo lepu policajku u odredu za razbijanje demonstracija, onako pod punom ratnom opremom...Setih se ove pesme...😉

Moja interpretacija je da je protagonist ove pjesmice privucen fizickim adutima jedne “majmunice” zanemarujuci njen intelekt i njeno drustvo “gorila”. Tako da sprej u oci predstavlja presjek jedine veze koju je imao s njom iako je vec bio u jednu ruku oslijepljen. Eto doceka ti ✌️
